Chapter 32

Chapter 32 – Chapter 4: Awakening #7

One was water and the other was wind .

From Felicia’s right hand, green wind rose to form a beautiful woman . Felicia commanded the laughing wind spirit, who turned into wind and dug into the cracks of the cliff .

After one or two minutes, . .

“Okay, that should be enough . ”

Felicia muttered and the wind sprang out of the crack . The wind spirit waited in place as Felicia commanded a blue water spirit to emerge from her left hand .

"The crack is enough . Can you do it?”

The water spirit nodded . The water spirit moved away from Felicia and plunged into the same crack the wind spirit had . Soon, the inside of the crack was filled with water .

"Freeze . "

This time it was magic, not a spirit . The water that filled the crack froze instantly and the crack started widening due to the expanding ice . In spite of the ice, cracking sounds could be heard .

In-gong now knew what Felicia was doing .

‘Indeed, a magician . ’

Felicia waved her hands and the ice melted . The water spirit returned to Felicia in the form of a woman and she took out some flasks from her pocket .

“One last blast . Explosions are common when exploring ruins . ”

She murmured playfully as she placed the flasks, then turned back to In-gong’s group .

"Bang!”

A real explosion swallowed up Felicia’s words . An enormous amount of dust rose as the cliff crumbled . However, the water and wind spirits took care of it .

"This is a shoddy method . ”

Perfect workmanship would require a longer time . Felicia winked at In-gong and Caitlin who started clapping .

“Ohh! There is a hole! It is huge!”

Carack exclaimed loudly as he clapped along with In-gong . There was a huge hole that was approximately two metres in diameter .

“Crazy . Is this real?”

Felicia, who seemed to be enjoying the applause, shrugged . Delia and Katuin’s expressions weren’t much different .

"I told you . It is right here . ”

In-gong smiled at Caitlin who nodded like she believed him .

“Let me check it quickly . ”

Felicia summoned her light spirit and entered the hole . Then she let out a cry of confusion .

“Oh, my god . ”

It was real . There was a large room inside the hole where dwarf characters were carved on the walls .

&

In-gong entered the hole after Felicia and looked around . It was a large space dozens of metres wide, with the walls and ceiling resembling what he had seen in the game . There was only one thing different .

"Prince, what is this dome?”

Carack looked at the large metal dome in the middle of the room and asked . The only thing different from In-gong’s memories was this dome .

‘There are dwarf statues around the sphere and the anvil is inside it . ’

He hadn’t seen a cover when he was playing as Locke and had destroyed the anvil .

Felicia touched the surface of the dome gently .

“It is like the last safeguard . The Thousand Light Anvil must be inside the dome . ”

She started tapping on the dome . It didn’t seem easy to disassemble .

"Aren’t there any dungeon guardians?”

Caitlin asked as she looked at the walls . Felicia was the one who replied .

“This is the innermost room . When exploring ruins, the most powerful guardian is usually found in front of the most important room . The most important room often looks plain . ”

It was similar to the relationship between a large lock and a treasure chest . The treasure chest couldn’t be opened due to the lock .

“Then we have to break this dome?”

Carack asked with wide eyes . Delia and Katuin looked grim while Felicia replied,

"No, we can’t mess with it . If we do it wrong, the anvil inside can break . ”

They had to find a normal method to release the dome . Then Katuin, who was interpreting the dwarf statues and characters engraved on the wall, called out to Felicia .

“Royal Princess . ”

Katuin stood before the dwarf statues surrounding the dome . They were the same size as actual dwarves and filled with holes .

Felicia sighed,

"Yes, maybe these guys are the cause . ”

Three of them were holding real metal swords, but the remaining six were bare despite their arms being in the right posture .

"Uh . . . Do we have to give them swords?”

Felicia alternated between looking at the dwarf characters and stone statues and nodded .

“Perhaps . I think we need to give them dwarf swords . ”

Despite answering, a little bit of bitterness was mixed in her voice .

There was no choice . They suddenly needed six dwarf swords!

"Then should we go back? There is no need to break through the dungeon so we can spare the time . ”

Felicia sighed as she spoke .

In-gong frowned at her words and he realized one thing .

‘I have some . ’

The dwarf swords . It wasn’t just one, but dozens of them!

In-gong activated the inventory window that he had forgotten about for a few days . The weapons he secured on the first day from the dwarf cave were kept very well .

"No, wait a minute . "

Everyone’s gaze went towards In-gong reflexively . In-gong couldn’t just pull out a dwarf sword from his inventory, so he approached Carack .

“Carack, put down that bag for a while . ”

"Huh? The bag I am carrying?”

“Yes, the bag . ”

Carack nodded and put down the bag . Carack knew that there were no weapons in the bag because it contained a lot of dry food and water .

However, In-gong stuck his hand deep in the bag and pulled out a short dwarf sword .

“Shutra?”

Caitlin asked In-gong with amazement but the one who was most surprised was Carack .

"Huck, when did you put that in? Did you pack a sword?”

Instead of replying, In-gong put his hands back in the bag and pulled out another dwarf sword .

There was a total of six .

Carack was the one who had carried the bag here, yet it seemed like he was seeing a ghost .

In-gong said naturally,

"I prepared the weapons found in the dwarf cave just in case . I put them in when you weren’t there . ”

"I wouldn’t be able to carry all six swords . ”

Despite In-gong’s explanation, Carack though it was strange . However, he was an orc and soon accepted the reality .

In fact, it was a rather strange story . It was rare for someone to carry six spare swords .

However, the joy and excitement of solving the problem outweighed the doubts .

"This is good . Let’s install them . ”

Felicia, who had the expression of a ruins explorer, picked up a sword . Delia, Katuin, In-gong, Caitlin and Seira all placed a sword in the hands of the dwarf statues .

There was a noise as the swords were absorbed into the holes .

It happened the moment everything was equipped . There was a mechanical sound and the whole room vibrated .

In-gong jumped but Felicia wasn’t affected at all . She told everyone in a small voice .

"Calm down and step back . The device is starting . ”

Felicia’s words were true . As everyone took a few steps back, the statues surrounding the dome started to move . They turned exactly halfway towards the dome and another mechanical sound was heard from the dome .

“The dome is opening . ”

Caitlin muttered in a small voice . The middle of the dome cracked and started to open .

"Thunder Light Anvil . ”

An enchanted magical weapon used by the wyrm Enkidu to guard his treasure .

Felicia’s smile widened . As the dome opened, a huge black thunderbolt, symbolising magic power, appeared in front of them and shone with a blue light .

&

The anvil was really huge . It was one metre long and the anvil plate was wide enough for Carack to lie down on .

It was clearly the Thunder Light Anvil .

However, what should they do now?

Caitlin and Felicia stared at the anvil . Felicia smiled brightly and explained .

"Wait, it isn’t complete yet . A final procedure is needed to operate the anvil . "

According to the records, there were at least three magic spells built into the Thunder Light Anvil . They couldn’t just act without considering the magic .

Felicia approached the anvil carefully and interpreted the letters engraved on the surface . The characters were engraved in the area where the blue light was shining .

'The speed is different . ’

In-gong had reached level two in Dwarf Characters due to his training, but it was still only level two . Felicia was an expert in ruins exploration, so it was natural that she would interpret it faster and more accurately .

'Just let it go . ’

He would entrust the work to the expert .

With a relaxed mind, In-gong watched Felicia work . However, Felicia was on her knees before the anvil and was sweating while interpreting the characters .

"Okay, I understand . I understand!"

Felicia stood up after deciphering the letters on the anvil and told everyone,

"Everyone has to come inside the circle of the stone statues . Delia, Katuin . . . and Caitlin?”

She called out, but her last word was filled with hesitation and anxiety . Caitlin just laughed and replied,

“Yes, Unni . ”

Felicia smiled at the friendly reply . She gave the three people a cheerful look .

"Do you see the discs on the ground? Delia and Katuin will stand on the ones in the 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock direction, respectively . I will stand at the 12 o’clock direction and Caitlin at the 9 o’clock direction . ”

“Ah, then what about us?”

In-gong, Carack and Seira were left over, so Felicia had to think about what to do with them .

"Just stand in the right place . Don’t step on the discs . ”

Everyone else was surplus manpower . In-gong stayed near Felicia and Caitlin while Carack and Seira were also in the vicinity .

Felicia turned to them and said .

"Okay, insert magic power one by one in the clockwise direction . Got it?”

“I understand . ”

"Yes, your Highness . ”

“Yes . ”

Delia, Katuin and Caitlin replied .

Felicia breathed out like she was trying to relax and injected magic power into the plate . Then the plate and altar glowed with a gentle light .

The signs were good so everyone acted quickly . Delia, Katuin and then Caitlin poured in their magic power, causing a bright light as well as a mechanical sound .

“Ohh, the altar is rising!”

The moment that Carack cried out . An enormous amount of light enveloped the party .
